Recently I made a rather rash statement on this forum where I said the Simpson desert is not remote enough to be dangerous.
The statement was in reply to a chap looking to hook up with other travellers because his travelling partner had pulled out.
I said "go on your own, its not remote enough to be dangerous".
The context of this reply was meant to mean that you are not alone out there and there would be little chance of perishing in the event of a breakdown or becoming stranded.
I've been there several times in season and there are always other travellers on the tracks.Its not Parramatta Rd admittedly,but I couldn't see you going more than a day or two at the most before help arrived.Is that remote and dangerous?
I would have thought a compass bearing into the great sandy or Victoria deserts with little or no chance of a vehicle appearing would be remote and dangerous, perhaps the Anne Beadell or Canning trips fit the bill as well, but the French Line in season?????

Brian.
